NHS Library Orientation:
This video is helpful to students because it gives them the library hours, the purpose of library, when
to visit, what is needed to visit the library, check out procedures, violations to copyright and library rules, printing procedures
and costs, and penalties for overdue materials. Students can use this video to learn about all things library for their school.
Norman High School Library Rocks:
Students will enjoy this video, because teens love to see themselves and their friends in a fun video. It also shows the librarians
rocking out, and uses a fun platform to show students what the library has to offer. This video makes the library
seem more appealing...not a boring place to be.

Tutorial Video for Tillery: Power Point “How To” Basics:
This video may be made for a specific class, but it is also helpful to other students on this campus, or any campus for that matter. Students can use this tutorial on Power Point to learn how to present their research, import images, use text
boxes, etc. It provides good basic knowledge for beginning Power Point users.
The Unquiet Library on Wheel @The Cafeteria:
Students will enjoy this video, again, because they like seeing themselves or their friends on
video. Also, a mobile library is a cool concept and shows students that the librarian
is willing to come to them. This librarian proves that she is invested in their lives and really wants
them to enjoy reading.

2014-2015 Course Advisement:
This video is extremely helpful to high school students at this specific campus, because it goes over the requirements
for all 4 years of high school. It is especially helpful to freshman coming in
to get an overview of what will be expected all 4 years, and it's helpful as well as a
review for all other grade levels. It talks about honors, GT, and AP courses,
elective courses, internship opportunities, etc. They even use a video of a
senior telling their experience with AP courses to give young students a peer
example to hear from. They talk a lot about colleges and what they expect from
applicants, and the school offers advising and a college fair to prepare for college
applications. This is a very helpful video!
The Panthers Library Shakes:
This is a fun version of the Harlam Shake made by students
in the library. Again, students enjoy seeing themselves and their friends doing
a fun video like this. It also gives the library appeal…it is a fun place to
be!

Leviathan Review:
This video is helpful to students as a book review. The librarian is talking and introducing
the book to his students, and then a professional media book review is shown. This review is appealing to students graphically. The librarian then closes the review with
encouragement to check out the book. Great idea for all books!
Overdue Games:
Student will enjoy this video for sure! It is a hilarious way to encourage students to
return overdue books! These students also made similar overdue videos using Twilight, Taylor Swift, and more. What a great idea to use pop
culture to encourage students to return their books and warn them of the penalties involved in past due materials. It is an important message for library patrons wrapped up in a fun-to-watch package...clever!
After checking out YouTube, I also learned how to use Animoto to create my own videos. Unfortunately, since I am only student teaching this semester, I do not have a school district email address, so I was unable to create an educators account. However, I did create a standard account, so I was only able to make a 30 second video. I will say that 30 seconds is not nearly enough to make a book trailer! I tried my best though! I created a short trailer for the following book...
Ten Rules You Absolutely Must Not Break if You Want to Survive the School Bus
by John Grandits
Here's a brief synopsis...
Kyle is dreading his first trip aboard the school bus. Luckily, his big
brother, James, is a school bus expert. James gives Kyle ten rules for
riding the bus that he absolutely, positively must obey if he
wants to avoid getting laughed at or yelled at, pushed around, or even
pounded. During his fateful ride, Kyle grapples with each unbreakable
rule. Along the way, he discovers that the school bus isn’t so bad, and
he may even have a thing or two to teach his brother.
Below is the short trailer that I created using Animoto. Simply scan the QR code with your smart phone, and it will direct you straight to my video trailer...

Here are a couple of websites where I found these ideas:
This was a wonderful assignment! I enjoyed it a lot, and I can't wait to try out everything I've learned!
